Create structured plans for multi-step work, including software and non-software tasks. Use when asked to plan, break down implementation, plan from requirements, or deepen an existing plan; prefer ce-brainstorm for exploratory framing.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Create Technical Plan **Outcome:** a plan for carrying out and checking the agreed work while preserving its outcome and constraints. Resolve technical choices from evidence; leave adequate instructions unchanged. `ce-brainstorm` defines **WHAT**, `ce-plan` plans **HOW**, and `ce-work` executes. A prior brainstorm is optional. **An explicit invocation always produces a plan.** Never classify a direct invocation as "not a planning task" and route out. It may select any output contract below, and the smallest valid plan is a few sentences in chat. **Research, decide, and write the plan — never implement.** Do not write production code, run tests, or learn from execution-time results. Directional pseudo-code and grammar sketches may communicate design; changing code to see what happens belongs in `ce-work`. ## Mandatory Completion Contract …

How to install
mdr add everyinc/compound-engineering-plugin/ce-plan@sha256:25259850d3622cd3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.57780d8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
